Elmer Table by Bruno Verjus

Table is really overpriced for a 2* Michelin restaurant. We are welcomed by the chef/owner which is really nice. The service started very good, and we noticed that the quality of service went down a lot the further into the evening. The overall quality/taste/presentation of the food was not what we expected. We even didn’t finish some the courses that is been served, and we have never been asked why we didn’t finish the dish or whether we have enjoyed the food. However we did noticed that waiters who came to collect the finished dishes made weird eye contact to each other when we didn’t finish the food. Also some the courses are presented in plastic plates, and I think it’s not acceptable for that kind of restaurant.

Not your typical Michelin star restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun.. there’s no dress code, which is a welcome change. That said everyone is dressed nice, it is Paris after all. The open kitchen makes you a part of the action, though I will say some of the seats are a little too close to the kitchen and it gets a little warm. The food is meticulously plated and offers a stunning visual. The creativity and perfectly balanced flavors make the entire meal a joy to experience. No gimmicks, no crazy gastronomy, just superbly cooked and paired food. The service was as expected impeccable, everyone was so warm and welcoming as well as knowledgeable about what was being served. The sommelier chose a perfect bottle for us. Chef has put together an amazing team that will not disappoint you!

We decided to return to Verjus since the last time we went was 2018 – and we are so glad we did. The service was so nice and so friendly. And the food – it was outstanding. They had a special pre-set dinner and each course was so delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone – and we will return next time we are in Paris.

This was one of the best meals of our lives. Period. Full Stop. Each course was imaginative, gorgeously presented and incredibly delicious. We did the wine paring with the meal, and each of those selections was unusual and added an explanation mark to the respective course, The service was attentive and delightfully friendly and the overall experience a "wow". We have eaten in wonderful restaurants all over the US and Europe, and this experience was just one of the best ever. One word of warning if you go in the current (late November 2024) timeframe - there is a scaffolding covering the building so it is easy to miss one of the two entrances (especially as the sign is only visible on one side). Fortunately we watched another couple go through the scaffolding alleyway and followed them in. Well worth the adventurous start!
